The Charley Steiner (71) School of Sports Communication, the nation's inaugural named institution for sports media studies, serves as your gateway to a professional career. Rather than competing on the playing field, you can announce live games, shape sports content as an editor or producer, or explore opportunities in sports administration and promotion.
At Bradley, you'll dive right into action. Starting immediately, you can contribute to the student newspaper, collaborate with ESPN and BravesVision, or secure internships with Peoria's minor league hockey and baseball franchises. These real-world opportunities enhance your classroom education, where you'll master core competencies in journalism, production, business operations, marketing, and media strategy. While specializing in your chosen field, you'll also develop expertise in investigative techniques and digital storytelling methods. These experiences help compile a professional portfolio to kickstart your sports media career.
Upon graduation, your resume may feature:
Practical sports journalism and media production through campus outlets
Career-building connections at the Steiner Symposium on Sports Communication, a yearly gathering of sports media executives on campus
Chances to present at industry events and co-author academic papers with professors
Professional placements with elite sports entities including NBC Olympics coverage, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the Los Angeles Dodgers organization
